What it is

Pitted California prunes are dried plums, specifically varieties like the French prune, grown in California. After harvesting, the plums are pitted (the seed removed) and then dried to reduce moisture content, concentrating their natural sugars and nutrients.

Why it's used

Prunes are often used as a natural sweetener and to add moisture and chewiness to baked goods, snacks, and breakfast cereals. They are also used in sauces, marinades, and as a base for fruit leathers and bars.

Health notes

Prunes are a source of dietary fiber and sorbitol, which can aid digestion. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. JECFA has evaluated prunes and found them to be safe for consumption. While beneficial for digestion at typical intake levels, excessive consumption may lead to digestive discomfort.

Allergen info

Prunes are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
